The Team who evolve Financial Comparison

The fantastic employees that make
Digitonomy unique

With over 120 years combined experience in Comparison sites and Financial Services, we’d like to think we’re
pretty good at what we do. The Digitonomy team has focused its efforts into evolving Financial Comparison
from simple but inaccurate ‘Best Buy’ tables to REAL personalised results for consumers and businesses alike.

Within Digitonomy’s Business-to-Business and Business-to-Consumer propositions the Design, UX and Product teams
have worked tirelessly to understand problems customers face in finding financial products and transacting
online. The teams have then designed and developed journeys to simplify what for the most part can be complex
financial decisions allowing the customer to transparently choose the product which is right for their needs.

However, a great customer proposition also needs great partnerships. So Digitonomy’s commercial teams have close-working
relationships with many third parties ranging from the some of the biggest UK lenders right through to our
marketing partnerships with the likes of Google and Facebook.

The Directors and
Senior Team

Over 120 years of financial services experience

Digitonomy was founded in 2013 in response to financial comparison opportunities largely ignored by the mainstream aggregators. Digitonomy focused on helping near-prime customers compare and find finance in a transparent and clear way. Digitonomy’s innovative and technology-led approach meant it quickly became the market-leader and regularly tops the Google search leader board ahead of its FTSE quoted competitors. However Digitonomy is diversifying and growing its range of financial service comparison sites - vertically and horizontally. After all, Imagine if ASOS has stuck to only selling white T-shirts….

“We’re obsessed with funnels, data and conversion. We’re all about getting results, and with over 100 years combined
experience in Financial Services, we’d like to think we’re pretty good at what we do”

Digitonomy Ltd.

The UK's largest loan broker

Digitonomy’s financial comparison sites have been developed to address consumer’s needs in finding real rates for Loans, Mortgages and Credit Cards. All 8 sites deliver the customer certainty of being ‘accepted’ and don’t base decisioning on out of date modelling or simple ‘best buy’ tables which have become the normal on the larger comparison sites. Digitonomy has just taken its 10 millionth application for finance – so it must be doing something right!

“Technology is at the core of our business. We have passion, drive and creativity – but none of that would work without having the right people.”

How we work with our partners

We build and own all of our sites - we run our own sites and manage our own campaigns.

We create our own sites to generate customer footfall for specially selected partners. Generally, that process begins with us choosing a new market we’d like to move into, whether that be business finance or life insurance. We then find the right partners for that market from our arsenal of industry contacts and by doing plenty of further research

Want to work with us?

We’re always interested in new business, and if you’d like to work with us and take advantage of our awesome customer-generating talent, feel free to get in touch.

A site that is not getting as much footfall as you’d like?

A market you’ve spotted where the sites are not up to scratch

A site that produces lots of leads, but of a low quality?

A great idea for a new site that you don’t have the resources to produce?

And the winner is...

After being nominated for not one but TWO national awards at the SME Awards 2016 the team here at Businesscomparison.com are celebrating being crowned SME Website of the Year 2016.

This is the recognition our team deserve. They’ve worked tirelessly over the past year to form new partnerships, redesign the site and launch a successful radio and taxi advertising campaign.”
